Hi All,

I am setting up Sympa to work with an external application so that the external application decides whether someone is able to subscribe to a list. My plan was to use an LDAP filter in an authorization scenario, but am finding that I can only pass the email address of the sender to the filter. Is there anyway to send parameters other than the email address to the LDAP filter (e.g. the list name)? I am anticipating several hundred lists each with its own criteria for joining and my solution was to have the LDAP directory know about who can join which list. If I cannot pass the list name to the filter, I am afraid I will have to have a different filter for each list. Is there some solution that I am overlooking?
